Dollar General reviews

The DC's are consistently disorganized,varifying you work daily w/pics from your own phone, if you don't have the right team and those members doing the right jobs that fit the needs of the buisness it makes it hard and you've gotta be there a lot more, can be more than the required 48 hrs a wk, a lot is expected from store managers(team members too, but especially the SM) and the workload is atrocious at times, the benefits are expensive, finding a work-life balance is incredibly difficult, if you are not driven to succeed and don't want to work more than 48 hours a week this is not the job for you.

Training was nonexistent. I had two days of training and I had no retail experience. You learn as you go. Communication with manager is difficult at times. You see them only during shift change. You can request days off on the app and it is over looked. Schedule is subject to change at any point and if you aren’t constantly checking the app you can miss a shift and get called from managers asking where you’re at. They say they need an availability form filled out but it’s pointless cause if you want full time hours you need to have open availability. And if you don’t have open availability you are considered unreliable. Workload is manageable if you have a good team, but turnover rate is high so it’s always hard to find a solid team.
